    This dude needs a pope-mobile if he's gonna keep saying stuff that's gonna make the libs want to kill him. He still regularly holds outdoor rallies and does them with just a clear bullet proof screen in front of him when Ukraine already demonstrated the effectiveness of drones, eventually someone's gonna realise they don't need to use a gun and could just fly a suicide drone in from relative safety.

      Pretty sure they're supposed to have drone jammers at these events, then again they were spectacularly incompetent once already so who knows.

        I don't think this is true. Think about it - if you're blocking connections for remote control you need to block EVERYTHING on that connection frequency.

        If television broadcasters can get a connection to send their video signal then a means of connection exists. Or if the average person at the event can get an internet connection via their phone... A drone can get a connection through that method too.

        Maybe they block a common set of radio frequencies used by radio controlled devices or something. But they aren't blocking everything and can't or they wouldn't be able to run the event. A drone can be controlled from many different means, if an internet connection to your phone exists then it also exists for a drone equipped to be controlled in that way.

          Maybe those little directional ones?

          Wait, is that a thing? Am I just imagining stuff?

            I don't know, IR? I think there's direct line of sight connections too. There's a lot of different ways. Some things are definitely not being blocked though or else all these other connections wouldn't be a thing. Like really seriously think about it in the sense that the cops aren't magical all seeing and all powerful. At the material level we can see for 100% certain that there are connections that aren't being blocked.

            We have this perception that they're doing a lot more than they actually are. It's part of the illusion of power.

              The thing I'm imagining looks like a big radar gun that just kinda floods the appropriate channels in a beam (depends on drone), but it would still require someone to spot the drone and someone to aim the jammer (and calibrate it to 4G or wifi or whatever), so lots to go wrong in the time it takes for a drone to cross from unrestricted to restricted airspace. And if the drone has a directional antenna (less likely the smaller the drone, but for a purpose built assassin drone, could be) it would be a lot less effective.

              But I'm still not sure if its a real thing. It does sound like something cops would buy should it exist tho

                Ahh I see what you mean yeah. I feel like if these were effective they'd be mounted on every single tank instead of cope cages though.

    Have chuds really forgot the riots of 2020?!? They have zero understanding of what terrors can occur. John Brown was right about these fucking cretins.

      Nah if you even interact with chuds even slightly they love bringing it up, it's a real sore point for them because it somehow demonstrates how the Democrats are actually violent communists or something. They concern troll over "muh one billion dollar damage" or "oh yeah, those protestors were peaceful? They burned whole cities down! :smuglord: "

      You're forgetting they don't care. Chuds are the biggest adventurists. And then when they find out they'll still be the victims

    If America does a purge, do you think all the low level government employees would be too busy hiding in fear that day to notice the warnings that several dozen Dong Feng ballistic missiles were fired directly at Washington DC?

      Huh. That's something I never thought about "the purge" (and another reason why those movies are so dumb). It would be the perfect opportunity for the US's enemies to conduct espionage or attacks under the guise of people purging. Hell, a ton of local militias would probably do that too.
